4. Use color: pick one or two objects or items of furniture in your room that have a color or colors that you love. Then select the rest of the colors for your bedroom based on these colors. Instead of having multiple colors vying for attention, focus on one or two.

Space. If your child is not afraid of the dark, a space theme can be a real winner. A black, dark blue or deep purple base color, decorated with stars, planets and space rockets can be really evocative of the theme in question. It is even possible to get non-toxic glow in the dark paint for the stars, so that they are still visible even when the light is turned off. If you are precise, you can decorate the stars in the patterns of real constellations, so that your child will become familiar with and comfortable with the night sky outside.

Step 1: Wall Color. This is very important because the color of the walls is a hallmark to a modern bedroom. Think outside the box and consider the new neutral shades of greens and grays. These create a soothing background for contemporary bedrooms that is more interesting and trendy than boring shades of beige. Another option is red, a daring choice that works well with the Asian themes that founded the modern bedroom designs of today. In case you decide not do that step, you can opt for the color that is currently on your walls. Even if it is just plain white, the selections that you make for the rest of the room can make almost any color workable.
